This Better Farming Series booklet provides basic information on what is needed to start snail farming, snail species, soil and water, plants for food and shelter, optimal temperature and moisture, and land selection, among other topics.

"This booklet describing possible techniques for production of edible snails has been prepared by Sonya Begg following a visit to the International Snail Farming Institute and attendance at an International Conference of Snail Farmers in Italy."

Reports on a research project to "assess the viability of an alternative method of mass producing edible snails" using "the Italian method of farming snails in pasture production or free range production" rather than using small enclosures or greenhouses. Discusses breeding Helix aspersa Muller.

"This report investigates the feasibility of establishing an economically viable edible snail industry in Australia." It describes growing and breeding snails on a commercial level, and provides information on production and management, market potential, and economic analysis.
